Along the lines of the artist Pitcho Womba Konga’s Congolisation project, Afropean+ highlights the added value of the African diaspora in the European cultural landscape. Taking place within the context of the Belgian launch of the European Year for Development, this project affirms the interdependence between North and South, and promotes freedom, diversity, creation and solidarity as driving forces for our future. Sensitive as it is to these themes, BOZAR hosts the first edition of an exceptional multidisciplinary event. On this day, Afropean+ presents concerts by renowned artists, a stage set aside for young talents, not to mention films, debates, play readings, a craft fair, children’s entertainment, exhibitions and other activities all relating to the wealth of interculturality!
